While those who bought Vista computers and qualified for manufacturer's Win7 Upgrade Kits are able to use a clean-copy Win7 DVD thanks to MS requirement for this of manufacturers, those who buy Win7 computers aren't so lucky.

They are in the same position as before where manufacturers enforce their sponsor's bloatware by refusing to provide a clean copy Win7 DVD, except rarely (Dell?). Some manufacturers won't even support clean reinstalls if the owner provides the clean-copy Win7 DVD to activate the OEM license stickerd to the computer.

Most tech enthusiasts get around this by locating a Win7 DVD, as any Win7 installer will activate with an OEM license, retail or not. Since sometimes only an installer of a different version is available, then their only choice is to unlock all versions by removing the ei.cfg file from Sources, recompile the ISO and burn to DVD, then select your licensed version during install. Bootable ISO - Create from Installation Files

There is nothing remotely illegal about this, as the owner does in fact own the license to use that version on that computer for the life of the computer. To insist they suffer with the inevitable corruption which bloatware inflicts, especially when uninstalled, is almost a Monty Python level of ridiculousness.

Just in case it is not clear, the title of the link you provided is a little misleading. A license key is meant for one version of Win 7. Be it starter or ultimate, that key will activate only the version it is for.

The link is so you will be able to install other version beside the one listed on the DVD. For instance, you obtain an Ultimate 32 bit version of Win 7. Your key is only good for a Starter version. You can use the link to create a DVD that will allow you to install the Starter version from an Ultimate DVD.

You cannot use your Starter key to activate an Ultimate version. Which is what gregrocker said, I think..
